Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.
Two years ago when I launched Exploding-Heads, Lemmy offered a way to let me play a small role in fighting back against: - censorship - deplatforming - propaganda - Big Tech tyranny, and - to help spread suppressed stories. I knew Lemmy had its challenges, but I hoped it would evolve for the better. Sadly after 2 years, the...
So on random@kbin.social I saw a lot of bots posting links to obvious scam websites (enter personal details and do "human verification“ to win an iPhone). What’s the best way to get the attention of a moderator or an admin (because I don’t think this sub is moderated at all) to remove these posts

The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.
I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won’t do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?
There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.
As the Fediverse continues to grow, new challenges arise in community management and user safety. A new organization seeks to make it easier.

Rather than try to act like a link aggregator where people submit links to articles and images and that submission comes with a comment thread specific to the fediverse instance in which it was submitted, what if each news site, image host, blog, whatever was itself the instance and the reddit-style instances federate with...

Everyone seems to be pointing to the Microsoft EEE model without explaining how it has changed since the 90s. Here's what it will look like in today's tech climate. (I forgot to mention in this wall of text that there will probably be a name change or two. Especially if there's a major controversy.)...
